The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 2
The successor to the throne of Wu Zetian was no longer the descendants of the Li family, but the Wu family.

Wu Zhou plotted to seize the kingdom of Li Tang. After the death of Wu Zetian, the world was in chaos and heroes were everywhere. Wu Zhou struggled to maintain his position. He could not pass on the throne for five generations, and the country could not be promoted for more than a hundred years, but the country was shattered.

The Chai family of Shangguozhu took advantage of the turmoil to raise troops in Jinyang and established the Jin Dynasty, which lasted for eighteen dynasties and lasted for 310 years.

The world was divided again. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Northern Liao Dynasty rose up, led its troops southward, and conquered the Central Plains. It once again established a unified dynasty, known as "Liao", which passed down nine emperors and enjoyed the country for 110 years.

This was the first unified political power state established by the Yi people in history. Its bloody rule over the people of the Central Plains was even worse than the "Yuan" in Chinese history that Jia Cong was familiar with.

"They robbed merchants, raided their homes, prostituted women, and burned their homes and houses. The common people feared soldiers more than thieves. Famine spread across the land, and people were displaced. Since ancient times, in the famine years, it has been heard that Dao Shen looked at each other and Yi Zi ate, and the corpses were analyzed. Cuan'er. Today's slaughtering of living people is like slaughtering pigs and dogs. Many people avoid people, but people don't think it's strange..."

"Taizu launched an army on Jiawushuo, the 12th year of the intercalary month of the third month of the [-]th year of Emperor Zhenyou of Liao Dynasty. He followed Taizu and started an army in Haoliang. The ancestor of Taizu, a native of Gupei, moved to Gusu in the east of the Yangtze River and became the Mujiaxiang..."

From Wu Zhou to the present, it has gone through more than 700 years.In addition to the geographical mountains and rivers that can be tested and are somewhat familiar to Jia Cong, the characters and deeds are as illusory as a dream.

Emperor Taizu Gao died in the 30th year of Hongxing, and Shizong succeeded to the throne with the reign name Yongjia.

In the 18th year of Yongjia, Emperor Shizong moved the capital from Jinling to Chang'an, with Jinling as the companion capital and still called Yingtianfu.

In the 23rd year of Wanqing, Taishang Huangchan was located today, with the reign name Taiqi.

Today, October 21, the second year of Taiqi, is the third day after Jia Congchuan arrived.

Jia Cong was distracted for only a thought. Zhong had been exhausted for so long and could no longer raise his eyelids, but he still thought about his son. "You are still young, so you are not in a hurry to read more. Even if you are studying, you must understand it." You can't swallow the truth wholeheartedly."

"Yes!"

Jia Cong gently put her on the cold kang. The hard kang supported her skinny body, and she was covered in a thin quilt that was not resistant to wind and cold. She held Jia Cong's hand, with a soft look in her eyes. He drowned Jia Cong in it and said, "Ask Huaping to give ten cents to the stove, and ask for a bowl of egg custard for you. Don't study too hard, as it will ruin your body from being careful."

When Mrs. Zhong finally fell asleep, Huaping said awkwardly, "Third Master, if we don't pay ten cents for a bowl of custard, we won't have to let those women in the kitchen scold us again."

"I know!"

He had read "Dream of Red Mansions" many times in his previous life, and knew that Tanchun and Baochai were discussing how to eat a portion of fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, and would send someone to send five hundred yuan to the kitchen.Si Qi, the maid in the Yingchun House, asked for a bowl of stewed eggs, but the kitchen not only refused to stew them, but also made a lot of miscellaneous remarks, saying that ten dollars was not enough to buy one.

If their ten cents were taken to the kitchen, they would definitely not be looked down upon.

Jia Cong also felt hungry. Thinking that it was noon, he said, "How much money is left in the house? I'll take it and ask for a bowl of custard!"

Huaping stood there, as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Jia Cong in disbelief, "Third Master, I only have less than twenty cents. Is it possible that I spent it all? My aunt's body needs to be cured of the medicine." It’s been a few days, and I said it’s no use drinking it and I need to take care of it slowly, but in fact I really have no money and can’t afford to see a doctor.”

If he hadn't seen that the third master was completely different from before, Huaping wouldn't have told him about his difficulties.

"Anyway, it's only twenty cents. It won't be of much use if you keep it. You take it to the kitchen and ask them to add an egg and stew it. It needs to be tender."

Huaping glanced at Jia Cong with disappointment. He was the master, she was just a slave. She lowered her head and said, taking out a handkerchief from the cabinet on the bed. There were about twenty copper coins in it, and she wrapped it carefully. Fine, she counted it twice before stuffing it into her sleeves and going out.Jia Cong still covered Zhong's body with his jacket. In this situation, he had to make a plan.

The decline of the Jia family is inevitable. As a descendant of the Jia family, he cannot enjoy any wealth now. In the future, the court will be liquidated and will show no mercy to him because of his bloodline.

This is extremely unfair, but how can there be fairness in the world?

Since he wants to break the fairness, he must use some tricks.

Jia Cong's hand was still held tightly by Zhong. If he moved even slightly, Zhong would wake up.

Jia Cong simply sat still. After thinking about it, he felt that his aunt would be a good breakthrough point.

Unlike Jia She's other concubines, although Mrs. Zhong was not a woman from a scholarly family, her father was the son who went to Beijing to take the exam. Since he had only one daughter, he was afraid of leaving mother and daughter at home and being raped by his family. She was bullied, so she sold her property and brought her mother and daughter into the capital together, with the ambition of passing the exam.

Unexpectedly, before they could enter the examination room, Zhong and her mother were seen by Jia She on the street, and they were snatched into the house at night.

When the Zhong family's parents came to find them, Jia She had already taken advantage of him, and the Zhong family also sought death and survival in the backyard several times.

For this reason, the Zhong family's mother was bumped to death at the door of Rongguo Mansion, and the Zhong family's father complained to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. The matter caused a great uproar, alarming the censor, and the heaven was heard.

When the verdict came down, Mrs. Zhong was already pregnant with Liujia. She was unable to seek death, and her father fell ill. With no choice but to accept the fate, she had to send her father away and raise the child in her belly.

Because of this incident, Jia She almost lost his title, and his father Jia Daishan was so angry that he couldn't even get sick. If it weren't for the manuscript he left behind before his death, he asked an expert to polish it, which would have made him heartbroken and full of regret. The late emperor missed his old relationship and the title of Rongguofu , maybe that’s all.

Even so, the late emperor still punished him with a small amount of punishment. Although the title was called Jia Shexi, it was no different from not having it.

The main house of Rongguo Mansion was still occupied by Jia Zheng, and Jia She and his family were kicked out. A courtyard was allocated for them to live in the middle of Ningrong's second mansion. They opened the door alone. In the eyes of outsiders, An independent portal also seems nondescript.

Jia She seemed to have fallen into a big trap with Mr. Zhong. He did not think that his father was mad at him, nor did he think that he almost lost his title because he did something that was harmful to nature, such as playing tricks on the princes with beacon fire. From then on, If a king does not act like a king, all faults are naturally the fault of women.

Compared with Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, compared with Jia She's concubines who were good prostitutes and had bad status, this was the reason why he and Zhong had such a difficult life.

Jia She couldn't tolerate the mother and son, so idiots like Mrs. Xing were happy to abuse them.

There was a hatred between Pian Zhong and Jia She for breaking up the family. Her father was a Juren, and she had studied with him. She was a hard-nosed person who would rather support her mother and son by doing needlework than to be condescended to.

From Jia Cong's point of view, he had another thought. Whether it was to find a way out for himself in the future or to consider his loving mother's illness at this time, he had to make plans in advance.

People without thought, he must worry about!
